Illustrator CC 2019 Glitch Unresponsive Type Tool, etc - YouTube
A clip demonstrating how unusable Illustrator CC 2019 (and CC 2018) has become. This clip is supposed to be a simple duplicate drag of a text object, a selecting of text and changing the wording and sizing of a single text object.
The type tool is unusable - things whizz around the screen when the mouse moves; double clicking to select text fails; there is such a lag between mouse clicks that random stuff happens when they finally register; selection boxes suddenly generate when the mouse moves; and so many other glitchy/buggy/broken things that aren't recorded here that make this utterly unusable.
And when my mouse moves off-screen (to the second monitor) it takes about 4 clicks of the mouse to get it to 'de-couple' from Illustrator to the Finder (MacOS Mojave v10.14.1 (18875) iMac Retina 5k, 27 inch 2017).

Disabling Dictation on the Mac fixed the issue.

Did you have issues with alternate tools, or drop downs? A user in the French forum reports this...

Yes. It was completely unusable but, amazingly, the 'disabling dictation' solution actually worked for me.
